hey, go to user accounts in control panel. There you will see "change the way users log on or off". That is where you will find the option.

On mine I have to either switch back in the GUI interface while still on the TV or shut down the computer, plug the VGA back in and re-boot.

I have since reloaded the system. The entire process of formatting, loading operating system, loading programs, loading data, updating, and defragmenting has taken almost 2 full days. So I didn't verify what was causing the disk activity. I think it may have been the indexing service(even though...

You say they can see each other, can you transfer files? If so, use Internet Connection Sharing, there are many sources of information on how to use it(help and support on your machine is one).

It also means you can grant acces to the file without allowing them to travel through the folders to reach it. They will have to type the address of the file to execute it and while they can execute the file, they can't see the folder contents that leads to the file.

My apologies, I do not have the Win 2000 Professional book anymore, so I have a feeling you all are right about the MFT being the reference I originally posted. I can confirm this at college so I will make sure and post my findings. And to WOLLUF, I was referring to Dynamic disk conversion for...

Sorry, But it is not incorrect. in W2K the FAT is 2MB. That is why I use WIN95 to fdisk and partition(it doesn't support the new MBR). Also, if you go to disk management in W2K and XP, then you can right-click the drive and select convert to dynamic disk. That will allow you to resize and add...

No, you have to apply policy to the domain. I confirmed this with the director of networking at my college. Glad to help.

Did you know Microsoft Win 2000 and up keeps an attribute record of every file that has ever been on your computer in the MBR? If the file is less than 1500 Bytes, then the entire file is stored there. I am not making a false claim. Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional book from the college I...

I would like to thank everyone for their posts. I plan to go through and repartition my hard drive, then reformat, then reload Win XP(I do so about 3-5 times a year). once I have done so, I plan to reload the programs I use one at a time and try to determine the source of the problem by reverse...

When defining password policies are you going into the local security policies or domain security policies? And if you are applying policies to the domain you must remember that: "One big note about password, account lockout, and Kerberos group policies: They are applied at the domain...

No, they are not. This is more or less quoted from my Windows 2000 Active Directory Services book from Microsoft. I Would add though, that I don't know if this would guarantee that no one would be able to install. I have yet to put it to use myself. I would be happy to help further if I can...

In addition to Win.ini and System.ini have you checked AutoExec.bat. Any of these could cause the problem.

I hope MSHANAFELT sees my reply. I don't have a direct solution, but, I attend a college where Cisco's tests are administered on computers through the internet. Cisco does just what your asking. Somehow, Cisco locks the test window till you either complete the test or click their link to close...

Couldn't you use scheduled tasks to run a text file(I tried but couldn't get it to run because of password problems according to scheduled tasks)? Does forcing log-off close programs? local computer policy snap-in has many options.

Well, I am not sure if this is what you were looking for. When I run a mmc from the command prompt and use the add/remove snap-in to add LOCAL COMPUTER POLICY I found something. My Active Directory Services book from MS says that there are 450 of these settings available so I started searching...

I agree that write-caching seems unlikely. But since I only install and use NAV when I plan to do downloading(not for just surfing(I know surfing technically is downloading)). I didn't have it installed at that time or now(Reasons: Performance). I scan files then burn to cd. Later, I use cd...

I found it in device manager under the disk drives, hard drive properties, policies tab on my computer. the power setting only has tabs for power schemes, alarms, power meter, advanced(for alarm actions and tray options), and hibernate. I am assuming it could be different on other computers so I...

I do have write-caching enabled. Next time I reformat the drive and reload the operating system(I do that about every 2 to 3 mos.) I will disable it to verify the process. Right now I have too many things installed(any is too many). No, I didn't have office installed and I disabled indexing in...

I forgot to mention that I had not connected to the internet or any other computer either. and any disk that came in contact with the computer had already been scanned by NAV2003.
